Where do the lines run?

Might be a mister for the radiator, to help keep temps down on the track.

Hello i followed the lines, theres some running to the battery, aswell as running to some dual guages in my glovebox, aswell as some running to my boot in the pic u see with the space saver wheel.

in the next post is the glovebox with gauages, and also my battery with what it looks like to be too many things running from it.

Def looks like meth/water sprayer setup. Probably have a nozzle in the cold pipe or IM as well. What do the guages say?

after i googled viair and see what they offer, that could be possible. The connection in the back where the spare is probably where the tank was. The tank was probably the most valuable part so he kept it and sold the car.

Thanks for the reply!

yes i think so too? he even took the bose speakers out too, they were in the car when i viewed it, and when i bought it i didnt notice them gone. then a few months later i saw that it was just plastic speaker coverings. LOL.

do u have any idea of how i could remove this without doing anything to the car?

its just screwed on in the pictures. but its connected all through the car and to the battery, and my knowledge is minimal there.

If it is air suspension, I dont see how removing it would hurt you. As of now it looks like its not connected anyways. Its hooked up on the battery thats returns to the pods gauges and the tank (thats not there). You've never seen any activiy from the gauges im assuming. If not, there shouldnt be any harm in removing them.

Curious, have you checked your suspension components to see if they're still stock?

im not sure how to tell from stock and after market suspension?

okay ill try remove it, im anxious with going near the battery as i have about 50 things connected to it already from the previous owner. i have no idea what most of them are even for ;(

Good thing about wires is that they can be traced. Follow back every wire youre skeptical about as far as you can.

You may not know what the stock parts look like but I'm almost positive you'll be able to tell if its aftermarket. Most aftermarket shocks/struts/springs are colorful and will be pretty obvious that it didnt come from Mazda. And if the bags are still on then that would be very obvious.
